Project Information
Spring is here, and this is my version of a porch swing.
I made a deal with a firewood supplier, to purchase a few full logs of white oak at scrap price. He was such a cool guy, he even let me borrow his sawmill for a day.
A trailer full of boards…. Price: $100
Turns out, I didnt get oak as I had wanted, but rather something else. I think it looks like elm, but Im not sure?
Who can spot what this is?
Lap joints
Test to find the optimal spacing.
After a day at the routertable and beltsander, everything was smooth and sanded to grit 180, and ready for some weatherproofing. Especially since I have no idea how well this wood holds up to rain compared to oak.
Assembly.
Used the leftovers for a matching wind spinner
Thanks for looking.
